underground lake was $40 feet below the sur

COLUMBIA S. c.. Aug. %. Information re-
ceived here is to the effect that few days ago
the assistant superintendent and roadmaster of
the Northeastern railroad, accompanied by the
sheriff of Williamsburg county, with a material
train and force of hands. proceeded up a tram
road owned oy T. G. Wiloughby, a large plant
and lumber manufacturer. and began at the
extreme end of the road tearing up and loading
the rails, which were rented to MIR. Willoughby,
and about which there had been a dispute. Mr.
Wiloughby was absent in Philadelphia. In the
evening, when the train was loaded and ready to
run on the main line, Mrs Willoughby, a hand
some Kentucky woman, took position the
road In front of the eng!ue and refused to al
low the train to pass out. A sofa and rocking
chair were there. and she .'held the fort" all
night and declared she would remain there un-
til her hus band returned The railroad attorney
arrived and attempted unsuccessfully, to make
the woman vacate. Mrs Willoughby employed
lawyers, but settlement could be arrived at.
On the evening of the second day the railroad
attorney ordered the train to run out at any
cost Mrs. Wiliouehby had armed herself with
a sixteen shooting rifle and as the train came
down upon her, instead of moving, she covered
the engineer with a rifle and ordered him to
halt which he did without second order. Here
the train, superintendent and hands remained
until compromise satisfactory TO Mrs.
Willoughby was agreed to.

report is given TO the public. 1t has been fur

some weeks. Mr.. Edgerton represents his own
views, and those of no other person connected
with the commission The friends of civil
service reform will do well not to be rnisled by
statements attributed to him in regard to the
Philadelphia and Chicago federal Offices. and
not to take these statements the views Of the
commission. The three commissioners agree
as to the verdict, il such their conclusion
may be called, upon the charges investigated
at the two cities; but they apparently agree upon
other point Messrs. Oberly and Lyman diff
fer wholly from the theories entertained by Mr.
Edgerton as to the function aud duty of the

Turkey VIII Not Consent to Russfa's Propo-
sal, but Will Await Concerted Action.
LONDON. Aug 25.-Turkey has refused to as
sent TO Russa's proposals for coercive action to-
wards Bulgaria, either in the form of occupation
by sending Artin Effendi with Russian com
missioner TO Bulgaria to secure the election OF a
new Sobranje and new prince. Turkey pre-
fers to wait concerted action by all the powers
parties to the Berlin treaty rather than to hasten
a quarrel with the Bulgarians 1t is the general
opinion of the leading European diplomates that
Germany gave her assent to the Russian pro-
posal for an Ottoman commission and Russian
general to settle the Bulgarian question merely
to place herself in position to be able to pre-
vent Russia from taking any precpitate action
which might again set the Balkans ablaze.
The italian government has replied to the
Porte's note that Italy considers the election OF
legal but that his assumption of power Is con-
trary to the Berlin treaty. The reply expresses
the hope that the powers will succeed In effect

Diplomatic representatives at Vienna say that
the statement that the powers would recall their
agents from Sofa is without foundation.

withdraw their agents at present. The transfer
of Baron Thiemann from Sofia to Darmstadt
